Default Re: ethanol and e85 same thing

yes but its going to take the engine along time to warm up. E85 is 85% alcohol. it would be better to run some gas with it. It will help lube the fuel pump and injectors. I would mix it with 100 or 110 race gas at a 10% gas 90% alcohol rate. That would give you the best bang for your buck.
